Bob, I think this thread would be better directed to me, not Runtu. I don't discern any hate from him.
Incidentally, I miss free-saints. Do you?

Hi Robert,
LOL!
(Not that I expect you or Droopy—for whatever puerile reason—to ever spell my surname correctly, but as Ray kindly points out, it does have an e at the end.)
I'd estimate my publication profits over the past twenty-five years at less than $10 per month. And this is your idea of "mak[ing] money"?
My birthday is today—thanks for making me smile.
Cheers,
</brent>

John -- I'm curious. Why do you spend so much time personally maligning your former faith so much? I mean, you don't make money off of it like the Tanners or Metcalf.

Happy birthday, Brent!

Gee, you ought to switch teams and join up with the Mopologists. I hear that you can make over $20,000 just in one year as Chair of FARMS.

Hi Dr. Scratch,
Well, I'm clearly on the wrong side of the financial fence.
But it wouldn't be entirely inappropriate for "Mopologists" to pay me royalties under the table since I've heard that my FARMS's nickname is "Job Security"!
Cheers,

Happy Birthday Brent!
It is time for you to show your Mr. Olympia pose again, so we can see how ripped you are at your age.
